Taniti
Taniti is a small, tropical island in the Pacific.
While the island has an area of less than 500
square miles, the terrain is varied and includes
both sandy and rocky beaches, a small but safe
harbor, lush tropical rainforests, and a
mountainous interior that includes a small,
active volcano. Taniti has an indigenous
population of about 20,000. Until a recent
increase in tourism, most the Tanitian economy
was dominated by fishing or agriculture.

Taniti
•Almost all visitors arrive to Taniti by air, though some arrive on a small cruise ship that docks in Yellow Leaf Bay for one
night per week. Taniti is served by a small airport that can accommodate small jets and propeller planes. Taniti is in the
process of expanding the airport so larger jets will be able to land on the island within the next few years.
•Public buses serve Taniti City and run from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. Private buses serve the rest of the island. Taxis are
available in Taniti City, and rental cars can be rented from a local rental agency near the airport. Bikes and helmets are
available to rent from several vendors (helmets are required by law). Taniti City is fairly flat and very walkable. Many tourists
stay in the area surrounding Merriton Landing: this area is easy to explore on foot.
